Ascent Flights Global is starting the service in the Philippines next week and plans to expand to Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia by 2020. The shortest flight between the two business districts cuts travel time from half an hour to three minutes, with seats going for 6,900 pesos each. The longest flight between the two airports will cost 25,900 pesos for a 30-minute trip that would usually take three hours. Local charter business Inaec Aviation is proving the helicopters and pilots.
